This is the biggest global T20 spectacle as we are in the 2026 T20 World Cup which is set to be co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka. In the first game of the WT20 it will be Pakistan who will take on Netherlands. This is a Group A fixture and this match will be played at Colombo. Pakistan will be led by Salman Ali Agha and come into this tournament on the back of a 3-0 series win against Australia. While Netherlands have not played bilateral cricket recently but the warm up match earlier this week would have given them some preparation. Scott Edwards will lead the side.

There is some forecast for rain interruptions and both teams will be hoping to get a full game. The surface at Colombo in day games will be good for batting and spinners will come into play. Pakistan has the edge in the H2H and recent form but as Netherlands have shown in the last few WT20 that they can upset the big teams. So, it promises to be a thrilling match and fans in India can watch this at 11am on Star Sports. In this article we look at Pakistan vs Netherlands T20 Head-to-Head Records and Stats.
